Fluid forum view allows members only to get right to the meat of this community; the topics. You can toggle between your preferred forum view just below to the left on the main forum entrance. You will see three icons. Try them out and see what you prefer.
Fluid view allows you, if you are a signed up member, to see the newest topic posts in either all forums (select none or all) or in just your favorite forums (select the ones you want to see when you come to Fishing Minnesota). It keeps and in real time with respect to Topic posts and lets YOU SELECT YOUR FAVORITE FORUMS. It can make things fun and easy. This is especially true for less experienced visitors raised on social media. If you, as a members want more specific topics, you can even select a single forum to view.
Let us take a look at fluid view in action. We will then break it down and explain how it works in more detail.
The video shows the topic list and the forum filter box. As you can see, it is easy to change the topic list by changing the selected forums. This view replaces the traditional list of categories and forums.
Of course, members only can change the view to better suit your way of browsing.
You will notice a “grid” option. We have moved the grid forum theme setting into the main forum settings. This makes it an option for members only to choose.
This screenshot also shows the removal of the forum breadcrumb in fluid view mode. Fluid view remembers your last forum selection so you don’t lose your place when you go back to the listing.
The benefit of this feature is easy to see. It removes a potential barrier of entry for members only. It puts the spotlight on topics themselves, and not the hierarchical forum structure. You as a member will enjoy viewing many forums at once and switching between them without leaving the page.
We hope that fluid view, the new functionality is an asset that you enjoy .

I am looking to get another spinning rod for casting light jigs for walleye. I have a 6'6" ML Eagle GT and I like it for this application but it is a little light when hooking up with larger walleye and accidental carp. I was wondering if the 6'9" ML HMG had a slightly stiffer tip?

The reason I had to ask is because the MH Eagle GT Casting rods actually seem stiffer than the MH HMG Casting rods. I really love my HMG casting rod. I was hoping to hear that the HMG was a little stiffer in the spinning series. I know the quality of the HMG is better. I will wait for a few more responses before I pull the trigger.

I can't speak for the 6'9" ML HMG, but I own a 6'6" M HMG which is about 8yo and is still my favorite walleye rod over my 6'3" M EliteTech and 6'6" M STC Premier. I run 8lb test with it and usually use jigs 1/16-1/8th oz range and sometimes up to 1/4oz.

Put a couple 1/4oz weights on a couple pieces of line with paper clips on the ends. Bring them to a store and check to see how the two rods bend. My guess is that the HMG will bend closer to the tip (faster) and the GT will bend further up the blank (slower). If there is a difference in total deflection, that is the difference in the rod's power.

That's the issue, going to the store. That would make my decision real easy, but I am 2.5-3 hours away from anywhere that would for sure have the HMGs in stock. I'm in the middle of nowhere at the moment waiting to return to the homeland (MN). Hopefully before November.

Anyone using ceramic cookware?
We got rid of our Teflon stuff years ago and have been using stainless steel for quite a while. We still seem to have a hard time with certain things sticking in the SS if you are not super careful. My wife picked up the ceramic pan pictured below a couple months ago and we have been using it a lot.
Anyone using ceramic? Anyone ever heard of this brand? It seams cheap to me, looks like I can buy an entire set of it for about $80.00. Any downfalls to ceramic cookware?

I found two of these hiding in the rear of my rod rack...
Lettering on the blank says...
"GR28-7', Medium, 4-10#, IM6 Graphite, Jigging/Rigging"
The cork is a bit faded but overall these look almost new.
Asking $150.00 OBO for the pair.
I'd like to do a face to face sale in or close to Carver County or Eden Prairie. However, shipping is available. I'd need to get you a price quote.
